Great to see Gary "was here, Ash is a loser!" again, Gary is so awesome! He is definitely one of my favourite characters! It was also nice to see Gary's Umbreon, I was happy to see it when I saw this one for the first time, because of Gary's Eevee in the last episode of the Orange Islands season. 9/10.

It's Shellder!
This episode was a bit boring but it was nice to see Gary again. And his Umbreon looked really good, as did Team Rocket's Wobbuffet machine! It's surprising that Team Rocket had the brains to come up with a machine that can mimic a Pokémon's abilities, yet they've failed to steal a single Pokémon in years!!

Great to see Gary again after a absence of over more than fifty episodes. I really enjoyed the clear change of personality he has and his prominent role in this episode. Also that Umbreon of his is sick - unfortunate he didn't use it against Ash in the Johto League. For the rest was this episode quite basic but I did like the Wobbuffet machine from Team Rocket.

A nice episode, I liked seeing Gary again with his cool Umbreon that evolved from Eevee. I loved the Robo-Mecha-Wobbuffet that TR created, they were so great in this episode. Nice to know that Jessie got the inspiration from her Wobbaffet.

I liked seeing Gary again. It was really cool to see that his Eevee evolved into Umbreon because that Eeveelution suits him the best IMO. I liked watching Umbreon in action during the battle against the kid with the Alakazam, Umbreon was really strong!

I remember when I watched this episode with a friend years ago. We were both very impressed by how cool and strong Umbreon was and we were also a little jealous of Gary because neither of us had an Umbreon in our games at that time.

The plot with the black out and power plant didn't interest me that much. However, I loved Team Rocket's robo mecha Wobbuffet - I liked the design and how it was based on Wobbuffet's Counter attack.

Good to see Shigeru back to the anime again with another new Pokémon. Sad thing is that Blacky did not make use of any dark type attacks. At least bit would suffice but something like feint attack or pursuit would be better. I love the Sonans mecha in this episode and Nyarth and Kojiro mimicking Sonans salute posture.

This episode was ok... Finally got to see 1 of my absolute favorite pokemon Umbreon! Seeing Umbreon battle Alakazam and see Dark's resistence to Psychic for the 1st time was very cool! The rest of the episode dragged on way too much for me as a filler...

It was really fab how TR used Wobbuffet's Counter as an inspiration for their new mecha here. I really like Gary in this episode too. It's nice to hear him tell Ash that the next time they meet, he might challenge him for a change.

It was a joy to see Shigeru again. I liked when we saw his Blacky fighting against Foodin, because the Dark-type's resistance to Psychic-type attacks was brought up, and also because Shigeru's battling style was more sophisticated than ever before. But I was a little letdown that Shigeru declined to battle Satoshi here.

One of my favorite fillers. And it's a great Gary episode. Glad to see him again and his Eevee evolved into Umbreon. Glad he chose to help Ash out in the end. Team Rocket was funny with the RoboMechaWobbuffet, using electricity to have it powered. One scene I found extremely hilarious is when Meowth uses Scratch against Wobbuffet, which Wobbuffet responds with a Counter attack, sending Scratch back on poor Meowth's face.

It's even more pitiful when you realize that as of its last appearance in Shinou, Shigeru's Blacky still hadn't used any Dark-type attacks in spite of the fact that Blacky's a Dark Pokemon. It undoubtedly should've used Feint Attack or even something simple like Bite here during its debut.

Sometimes it seems like TR gets a little smarter. Wobbuffet robot was pretty good. I really liked Gary in this episode. It's nice to hear him tell Ash that the next time they meet, he might challenge him for a change.

In retrospect, this episode should've explained friendship evolution in detail instead of glossing it over when it came to the origin of Shigeru's Blacky. And speaking of which, I would've preferred if his Eievui had evolved into Eefi, instead of Blacky.
